Software Engineer II • Current Employee
Pros: The individual contributors (ICs) here are incredibly talented, making it a great place to learn and grow. Managers are generally supportive and do their best to shield teams from the constant changes happening at the leadership level.
Cons: - Communication around major changes—like return-to-office (RTO) policies and benefits—has been poorly timed and lacks transparency, often causing unnecessary frustration.
- Morale has been noticeably declining, with burnout becoming more prevalent.
- The hotel-desk system remains ineffective, as booked desks are frequently treated as communal space.
- Meeting room availability is increasingly limited due to the in-person hiring push, making it difficult to collaborate.
- Senior leadership is resistant to employee feedback, particularly when it comes to RTO policies and product direction.
- Perhaps most concerning, the Chief People Officer has openly stated that she does not believe in work-life balance and is pushing efforts to integrate work into employees’ lives rather than respecting personal time. This approach is out of touch and is contributing to burnout.
